JoCo Looks Back is a compilation album by American internet comedy musician Jonathan Coulton. The title comes from Coulton's nickname, JoCo. It is his first 'greatest hits' compilation and his first of three compilation albums, the others being the live concert recording Best. Concert. Ever and Jonathan Coulton's Greatest Hit (Plus 13 Other Songs), a compilation created for the Humble Music Bundle. The album features 20 previously released tracks from Coulton's first four studio albums, plus the two EPs Our Bodies, Ourselves, Our Cybernetic Arms and Where Tradition Meets Tomorrow. The album was released on October 22, 2008.[1]
"Code Monkey" was accidentally released in mono on the previous album Thing a Week Three. It was properly released in stereo for this compilation by Jonathan Coulton.[2] All other songs on the CD are the same as on previous releases. Like most of Coulton's music, the songs are protected under the Creative Commons license.[3]
All tracks are written by Jonathan Coulton, except "Baby Got Back," originally by Sir Mix-a-Lot.
